After a lucky break, they were signed up to Arista (Bristlelike process near the tip of the antenna of certain flies) records and group leader Tom Bailey (born January 18, 1956) paid off four of the members in return for their instruments.
The remaining trio - singer and main musician Bailey; lyricist and percussion (The act of playing a percussion instrument) ist Alannah Currie (born September 20, 1959); and multi-instrumentalist and stylings guru Joe Leeway (born November 15 1957) - broke into the UK charts at the beginning of 1983 with "Lies" and "Love On Your Side".
Leeway left and the remaining duo soldiered on for another seven years, only occasionally puncturing the singles charts and never again making the Top 40 (additional info and facts about Top 40).

Jane Shorter, sax; Joe Leeway (b 15 Nov. '57, London), percussion; Alannah Currie (b 20 Sep. '59, Auckland, N.Z.), sax; name derived from characters in Herg‚s Tintin cartoons.
Popular on dance floor (cassettes and 12} singles all had different mixes), their glossy pop was ultimately meaningless, and Howard Jones (for one) was doing it better; despite participation in Live Aid and CND affiliation, they'd sacrificed credibility for success.
Leeway left '86; Currie lost Bailey's baby, they released Close To The Bone '87, but the moment had gone with their earlier idiosyncracy.

 Joes doing alright!
That was a pleasant surprise since Joe normally would have preferred to be somewhat secluded from the rest for his own (spitting) privacy.
It showed me that Joe was attempting to be a little more friendly than he has been in the past.
Joe's still spitting unfortunately and it still bothers him although he still will not go see the docs about it.

 VH1.com : The Thompson Twins : Biography
Founding member Tom Bailey was attending a teacher's college in Cheshire, England and harboring dreams of becoming a classical pianist when he met Joe Leeway, a fledgling actor, in 1977.
The pair hit it off, yet Leeway wasn't part of the original incarnation of the Thompson Twins, which featured Bailey (vocals, keyboards), guitarist Pete Dodd, guitarist John Roog and drummer Chris Bell.
Leeway left the group in 1986, and the Thompson Twins remained a duo, releasing Close to the Bone the following year.

 A Decade in the Life
Bell, Dodd, Roog and bassist Matthew Seligman are fired, leaving the Thompson Twins consisting of the trio of Bailey, Currie and former roadie Joe Leeway.
Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie and Joe Leeway were probably just as surprised as anyone.
It was almost as though they had stumbled onto some secret elixir; to the point where the trio ensconced themselves in the studio for almost a year to dissect their recent success and puzzle over how they would produce a suitable follow-up.

 Arista Records: Arista Masters
And by employing machines, Tom, Alannah, and Joe deftly re-constructed pop music into something that not only excited and challenged themselves, but their audience, too.
Although other bands were also pushing the limits of what constituted pop music, it was the Thompson Twins who (some would say) single-handedly pushed it over the edge, formulating a new dimension in sound.
Tom admits, "The first time we used machines--drum programmers and synthesizers for bass guitars--was slightly embarrassing because it undermined what the Thompson Twins were originally about, and the fact that the best track ended up being the one that didn't really represent the band.

Bailey formed the Thompson Twins in 1977 with Pete Dodd (guitars), John Roog (guitar), and Chris Bell (drums).
That lineup of the Thompson Twins was short-lived; the group ended up as a trio with Bailey on vocals, guitar, bass, and keyboards, his girlfriend Alannah Currie (percussion, saxophone, and vocals), and Joe Leeway (percussion and vocals).
The Thompson Twins became fixtures on MTV during the '80s as the videos for "Hold Me Now," "Lay Your Hands on Me," and "King for a Day" were continuously rotated.

 TrouserPress.com :: Thompson Twins
Once an obscure, loose collection of as many as seven Sheffield-to-London players led by singer/synthesist/songwriter Tom Bailey, the Twins wisely pared down to the efficient trio of Bailey, New Zealander Alannah Currie and Joe Leeway and became one of the world's leading purveyors of occasionally adventurous, invariably danceable modern chart fare.
In April 1986, at the end of a six-month world tour, Leeway left the band, reportedly to go solo, although the only evidence that he followed through on that plan was one song he did for the 1989 film Slaves of New York.
Bailey and Currie carried on without him, releasing the modest and, for the most part, likable Close to the Bone, produced by Rupert Hine.

The politics of the future is about sustained affinity networks that can form ad hoc coalitions around specific issues, and the leaders of the future will be those who find resonance with that Internet-enabled new reality, as Howard Dean and Joe Trippi have done.
The devotion of his followers gives Dean the leeway to take the movement in any direction he wants.
